"Simon was very prompt in his responses and his availability and his prices were fair. He installed wallpaper to a powder room that required a lot of cutting and aligning. He did this work with precision, and it looks fantastic! He completed this project in a little less than 6 hours too!"

"MNM did an excellent job hanging wallpaper in our nursery. The wallpaper looks terrific and there were some difficult parts to the job. MNM was easy to deal with at a reasonable price and handled everything very well. I would hire them again."

"4 men were here for 4 days and 3 were here on the 5th and final day. They came exactly at 7:30 AM, and left about 4:30-5:00, working constantly with only a short break for lunch. Things they did beyond their job: Shoveling snow & ice and putting salt on the steps. Taking out my garbage, 1 garbage and two recycling bags. Cleaning everything except what I said not to, because I need to sort through some stuff. Cleaning a bunch of black gunk left under some bookends on my desk Removing masking tape gunk on the 7 windows in the sun porch, ghosts of many long ago Christmases They cleaned the glass windows from every room in which they worked They cleaned 5 of my 6 ceiling fans.....why not #6? some of the things I moved prior to their arrival was stored in that room. They vacuumed the rugs in all the rooms in which they worked They vacuumed the steps going down the front hall They kept asking if I was sure there wasn't anything else I wanted them to do....."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Professionals handle heavy lifting, proper disposal, and recycling, reducing environmental impact.

Yes, most professionals patch and smooth walls after removal to prepare for new finishes.

Using a fabric softener solution is a popular and low-cost DIY method for removing wallpaper, but its effectiveness is limited. While it may work on some types of wallpaper, it is unlikely to be successful on vintage styles, and there is no evidence that it is more effective than other removal methods. There are also several potential downsides: the solution can leave behind a residue that may damage your walls or interfere with the adhesion of new wallpaper. Additionally, this method can create a strong, overpowering aroma that takes a long time to dissipate, making it a poor choice for homeowners sensitive to smells.

To remove pre-pasted wallpaper, you’ll need to wet the wallpaper or steam it to loosen the paste on the back of the wallpaper. Spray the paper with water, then let it soak for 10 to 20 minutes. From there, you should be able to peel off the wallpaper. Then, you may need to follow up with a cleaning solution and a scraper to remove any remaining wallpaper paste on the walls.

No, you don’t always have to remove old wallpaper before applying a new layer. However, you should pull off the existing wallpaper if it’s cracked, peeling, or in poor condition. We’d also recommend against putting wallpaper over textured or dark-colored wallpaper because the old layer may be visible through the new one. In addition, if you try to hang new wallpaper over vinyl-coated wallpaper, the adhesive might not stick properly.
